Muon cycling dynamics for muon catalyzed fusion in heterogeneous solid layers are
considered through decay of complex molecule [(dtmu)*Jnu-dee]vk. The suggested fusion
system consists of three layers which are alternatively repeated. The first layer is D/T
(deuterium, tritium) which provides [(dtmu)*Jnu-dee]vk molecules. The second layer is T2
molecules which are used to slow down the muonic atoms and the third layer is D2
molecules. The design is in a way in which dtmu, muonic deuterium and tritium molecules,
are produced in resonance. It is shown, by considering muonic dynamics theoretically
in a suggested heterogeneous system and determining its cycling rate by using a more
advanced calculational method, that for equal deuterium, tritium concentration (Cd =
Ct = 0.5) in D/T layer and \phi' = \phi0 = \phi= 1 (relative density for each layer respectively
and given in liquid hydrogen density LHD = 4.25*10^22 cm^-3), the muon cycling
rate is optimum for the suggested heterogeneous system and has 15% enhancement with
respect to the conventional D/T system. It is also shown that for \phi0 < 0.0003 the muon
cycling rate in D2 is almost stopped, and for \phi0 >1 muon cycling rate increases, but
this is not recommended due to low and costly tritium availability.
